A good source for that era and cars is RacersReunion member Jack Walker's Carolina Raceplace at http://raceplace.zoomshare.com . Especially if those drivers ever ventured down to Rambi Raceway...good chance Jack may have some info. This is one of Jack's pics from his site.
Congrats Gene!! And thanks for the great job you and the others (including Gerald) did on the event. All you HSG guys are really special.

Just this week, I found the RacersReunion group you started on FB...thanks, Wally. We do get a lot of traffic from fb...and that is why I use it. Kinda like trolling for crappie on Boone Lake...and yes that IS in East by God Tennessee. And for the record I have never had analcoholenema. Like TMC...I agree think that would be...a "waste" of good beer. Our East Tennessee "alcohol" roots run deep, and I canguaranteeyou those who chose that version of "tubing" ain't from around thar.
TheHistoricSpeedway Group guys are in a class by themselves. You all have heard me say over and over This event is the gold standard by which all events are measured. Every year they raise the bar. This year was no exception.
The rain brought everyone closer together...and there were folks without umbrellas nor hatsstandingand walking around in the rain looking at the amazing display of old race cars and talking to the "who's who" alumni of racing history. I have some great footage I'llpostas soon as I find the time to edit.
They rented and filled the entire hotel. The Moonshine Jam has grown to a standing-room-only event with everyone laughing, singing along, and having a great time.
Without a doubt...always the highlight of my year.
Thanks to all the members of the Historic Speedway Group for putting on such a great event.!
You hit on the advantage to attending versus TV...for me. A big one is the smell. I wasprivilegedonce to acquire suite tickets at Bristol...only to leave the suite and stand outside so I could get the "complete" experience.
I do enjoy watching a replay of a race I've seen in person just to see all things I missed at the track.
Great discussion topic!
I think those boxing matches today could be a saving grace for NASCAR. All disputes to the Big Yellow Truck...then to the ring for a final decision.
